Mayor Blewett declared the Public Hearing opened, Mr. Jesse E. Fristoe, 14426 Ramona Blvd., asked that Council ignore statements which appeared in the Herald-Press as they are not his statements. He proposed a non-drinkers lounge with dancing and had submitted a petiti 1 to the Planning Commission expressing no objection" to his application from McMahan's Furniture, Speers Florist and Baldwin Park Lumber Company. This is a new concept. There are 20 non- drinker lounges with dancing in the United States and a11 are doing well. He will advertise and plans to bring people and business to Baldwin Park. Mayor Blewett said the petition should have been in the agenda packet.

In answer to Councilman McNeitI, Mr. Fristoe said he would refuse entry to anyone who had been drinking outside and it would be clearly understood that there will be no drinking and no dope. He will be his own bouncer." Mayor Blewett inquired as to police protection and clarified that Municipal Code Section 4203 stipulates police protection is required for all public dances; 0 to 50 persons requires one officer; 50 to 100, two officers or licensed uniformed private patrol. Mr. Fristoe said a $5.00 cover charge wilt discourage drifters and he will have a mature clientele. In answer to Mr. White, Mr. Kilgour said the specific parking plan applies to the entire city; some cities allow use of public right-of-way but our code does not. There are some legal non-conforming businesses using public parking, but their requests to expand were denied because there were no parking facilities. Councilman Aguilar and Councilman Unite agreed that restrictive night parking might inhibit growth of business, but the Council was obliged to conform with the code. Mr. Fristoe said he could meet the conditions, includ- ing a large exit" sign, but expenditure of five or six thousand dollars for handicap rest rooms would be impossible and asked that this requirement be modified. In answer to Councilman White, Mr. Kitgour said there could be no variance to the A-3 occupancy Building Code requirements and Mr. Cunningham said handicapped require- ments are mandated by State law and there is no appeal section. Mr. Fristoe withdrew his application as remodeling costs would be prohibitive. As there were no further testimony either in favor of PUBLIC HEARING or in opposition to CP-264, Mayor Blewett declared the CLOSED Public Hearing closed. Mayor Blewett said police and handicapped requirements should have been resolved by the Planning Department or the Planning Commission before present tion to Council. REFUND $50.00 APPEAL FEE FOR CP-264 TO MR. FRISTOE. M/S/C: BLEWETT/AGUILAR. Roll call. There were no objections. Mr. Kilgour clarified that A-3 requirements for handi- capped was included in staff reports but that the fact that there was no option under State law may not have been stressed. He said police review on alt applications is standard procedure. Councilmen White and McNeill requested that in the future the police report become part of the report to Council. Mayor Blewett apologized to Mr. Fristoe for the inconvenience. 00- REFUND $50.00 APPEA, FEE TO MR.

Council concurred that on June 7th the application time had been extended for Mr. Evans.
